Me and my son enjoyed every single moment of our stay in this gorgeous place! The staff are so friendly, especislly Margarita at reception. She goes beyond and above to make sure the guests are having the best time. They also upgraded our bedroom at no cost! When we entered our bedroom we honestly couldn't be happier!
The food was amazing, the hotel itself is so clean and stunning!
This place made our first visit to Crete so memorable that we will definitely go back again!
Thank you all so much for making our visit so special and memorable!
We have had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The food is amazing with a huge variety. The rooms are clean, comfortable and modern. Location is good with nearby shops and some restaurants with access to Heraklion via bus which takes about 30 minutes. The weather hasn’t been on our side but Djamel Hotel PR has kept us thoroughly entertained. He is bubbly and a breath of fresh air. He took a real interest in how we were getting on with our stay and then played some really fun games with us. Thank you for making our stay so amazing!
A lovely, smaller hotel with a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help, making guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.
The food is one of the highlights of the hotel – delicious, fresh, and varied, with a wide selection of dishes to suit different tastes. Every meal was enjoyable, and there was always something new to try.
A great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable stay, excellent service, and tasty food in a pleasant setting. Highly recommended!

The most amazing stay for our honeymoon! ❤️
From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. I had contacted the hotel beforehand to arrange some room decorations and flowers as a surprise for my new wife, and they absolutely smashed it. The room looked incredible and it was such a lovely way to start our honeymoon.
The whole team work incredibly hard, and it honestly doesn’t seem like some of them ever have a day off! Everyone we met was so friendly, helpful and welcoming.
The food was amazing throughout our stay, and a special mention has to go to the barman — I think his name was George — who looked after us so well throughout our entire stay. He was brilliant and really went above and beyond.
All the girls in the restaurant were fantastic and so helpful, along with who I believe was the manager. The service was always first class.
We also had a meal at the à la carte restaurant, which was absolutely amazing. The service was exceptional, and we would 100% recommend giving it a try if you stay here.
Our room was spotless, with a lovely big bed, and it was cleaned and serviced every day. Everything was just perfect.
We genuinely couldn’t fault the place at all. We had the most amazing honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. A huge thank you to the entire team for making it so special for us. ❤️
We had a very pleasant stay overall. The rooms were very clean, with daily housekeeping, and the cleaning staff were extremely helpful and kind. The whole hotel staff were friendly, smiling and always willing to help. A special mention goes to the reception team, who were exceptionally helpful and arranged a room change for us from a room without a balcony to one with a balcony.
The beach was beautiful, clean and easily accessible, and we especially loved the beach bar. The walking distance to the beach was not a problem for us at all. The food in the main restaurant was excellent.
One area that could definitely be improved is the facilities for children. There are only a few high chairs in the restaurant and sometimes they were all occupied. There are two small children’s pools, but no proper playground or kids’ club. We were told that the playground has been under renovation for several years, but we did not see any work being done. So, while the hotel is child-friendly, there is not really much entertainment or equipment specifically for children.
We were also disappointed with the Gogo’s à la carte restaurant. The service was very slow and the manager was not particularly pleasant. It took around 30 minutes just to place our order, and the food was not particularly impressive.
Another minor downside was the evening entertainment. The music in the lobby bar from around 9–11 pm was extremely loud and could be disturbing, especially for families with young children.
Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would consider coming back. With some improvements to the children’s facilities and evening noise levels, the hotel could be even better.
